Association between ventricular arrhythmia (premature ventricular contractions burden and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia) and cardiovascular events in patients without structural heart disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) are common arrhythmias in cardiovascular clinical settings. However, the clinical significance of PVCs and NSVT in the absence of structural heart disease has not yet been fully elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PVCs, NSVT, and clinical outcomes.

Methods

A study population of 26,117 patients was drawn from the Shinken Database established in June 2004. We enrolled 6332 patients without structural heart disease who underwent 24-h Holter monitoring and were registered up to March 2019. We focused on ventricular arrhythmias and cardiovascular events in patients without structural heart diseases. The study population was divided by the number of bas
